Precious Achiuwa generic update

[AntG168]

Just roll your eyes at this petty nonsense. Anybody who thinks they know who really knows what, is wrong.

Chief is more plugged in than anyone not an “insider” imo. He may be a little crazy/clingy/cringy. But he knows or knew someone who was or is connected to some degree

 

[FlippinCrazy!]

Just want to point out that not getting an official isnt necessarily a bad thing. He took/is taking official visits to UNC, Kansas, UCLA and one other correct? Link between these schools? They’re all far away and would be fun to visit. The kid is smart to have all his expenses paid on these trips and get chauffeured around. He’d be dumb to visit uconn, which is right next door, especially during final exams / summer vacation. Don’t you guys want smart kids?

If I was him, I’d use my last official visit on Arizona state, USC, or maybe Hawaii? Top choice would be Louisville though

When will everyone understand that Chief is Glenn Miller. This isn't hard.

But he doesn’t... it’s made up and people believe it. BF and Zion actually are connected.

He knew the Drummond news waaaayy before anyone else......iirc

He knew the Drummond news waaaayy before anyone else.iirc

Yes, he did. Legitimately. He was the only one here calling that.

It's also the last bit of news he's broken on the board.

Correct, which is why I assume he at least once was connected in some form or fashion

 

[Vancat]

casual insider?

Connected might be a little strong, but yeah he definitely was at least on the periphery at some point.

Except for Akok, Gaffney and Bouknight. It's a dumb pissing contest in any event. Nobody really closely connected to the team would be able to reveal details showing those connections or those connections would dry up. I take everything from everyone with several spoonfuls of salt.

If Precious comes here, what does that mean for Zion's "Next"? Is he a fraud then? No. It means that Dan Hurley himself can't predict what these kids will do with any certainty, nor could Ollie or Calhoun. The most we can get from any insider is a vague sense of what the staff thinks, which may or may not be accurate itself.

I don't think Zion gets news from the staffs

 

[UconnU]

I only trust Chief.

 

[UConnSean]

I only trust Chief.

I only trust Makers Muppet

 

[HuskyAlum012]

I only trust Makers Muppet

I only trust that one day, someone will eventually be throat punched by Fishy.

 

[HuskyHawk]

I don't know where anybody gets their info. I can only say that any info from anybody except the recruit himself (and even then only right before they commit) is suspect and subject to change.

He might be connected to Drummond... but not the team they are very different things.

Great thread.

Maybe I missed this earlier....

AAC Basketball: Way-too-early power rankings for 2019-2020 season

"Those freshmen will add some needed quality depth to UConn’s roster, but the big fish out there is five-star wing Precious Achiuwa. The Huskies are considered the favorite to land the nation’s No. 13 overall prospect (according to 247sports) and have been for a while, but a few other schools – namely North Carolina, St. John’s, and Memphis – are trying to get into the mix. "

Not news but more press can't hurt.....right?

 

[uchusky32]

I know I appreciate opinions from insiders, those who have info but are not insiders and sometimes some of yours but not often.

 

[Lynyrd]

My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives...

 

[UconnAlum04]

casual insider?

Just the tip?

 

[tzznandrew]

Except for Akok, Gaffney and Bouknight.

But he didn't break any of these.

Anyway, we're on the "Let's argue about Chief" part of the thread. It comes after Bargaining. Probably should shut this down.

This is straight up revisionist history.

I am searching for a 75 and over ladies sewing circle filled with meaningless gossip that some of you might be interested in joining. I'll let you know if I come up with something. Chief haters need to let it go. Be happy he's willing to share some hints of possible positive future events for Uconn basketball. If he's right... great! If he's not... oh well. No one has a crystal ball.

Yeah but I’d take that article with a grain of salt. They also talked about how “Jalen Smith and Tarin Smith are the only major contributors leaving Storrs”. We’re really gonna miss that Jalen Smith guy, he was good.
